I am a 2nd grade teacher and I have a student in my class who does not have many friends. When she breaks a rule, even an unofficial rule, the other kids always point it out. She does try to be friendly, but her attempts are often seen as babyish and awkward. How can I help this little girl fit into the class and be accepted by her peers?

I have a seven year old daughter, Kim, who has been become aggressive at school, fighting with other students and challenging her teacher. During this time period her grades have dropped and her overall performance has declined. Last year her father and I divorced, but I am not sure if the behavior change is a result of that or not. Can you help?

"There are times when my child becomes so upset it can't calm her down. It's like she's out of control with rage. She can stay this way for up to an hour or more. What am I supposed to do when she is like this?"

My 2-year-old son has just been diagnosed with autism. When the doctor told me, I was shocked and terrified. I barely know anything about autism, and I don't know what to do. Will my family ever be able to have a normal life?

My 11-year-old son has always had trouble writing his thoughts down, but he can verbalize them beautifully. His notes from school are illegible and fragmented. Could there be a learning disability involved? How do I go about assessment for a learning disability?

My daughter is dyslexic. She has to work very hard to keep up with the other kids in school. She says that she is stupid. Her self-concept suffers terribly. Her grades are above average but she must work so hard to keep them. Any suggestions?
